Ponderings......

We are no more able to live in the pastThan we are to touch tomorrowAnd all the memories we hold fastAre thorns and jewels we borrowThe fleeting dance of yesterdayMay claim no safer careThan in our memory, tucked awayYet, it is simply air

There is but one true gem we holdBefore it too is takenTo rest in vaults of useless goldFor if tomorrow we wakenThe gem which now we call todayWill simply be a whisperOf moments gathered yesterdayBefore they’re gone forever

(optional last verse)So to thyself and God be trueIn this day you’ve been givenJoy and sorrow both are fewIn our prelude to heavenYesterday is dead and goneTomorrow just a glimmerToday we hold a priceless crownBefore it’s gone forever
